"My husband and four children really enjoy this simply delicious meal. I love it because its so quick and easy to put together. Also I love the taste that the soy sauce & coffee make together so I don't thicken because it mellow out the taste."

"My husband and 'man Friday' loved this dish. I cut off as much fat as possible from the roast and used a packet of masa flour to thicken the juices immediately. I served this with mashed potatoes & steamed broccoli. If you're careful with sodium, try reduced sodium soy sauce. Easy & delicious!"

"When I was dishing this out, I thought, 'hey, there's no herbs in this', but I'd tasted the juices after it had cooked 3 hours and it was very good then. I used garlic powder instead of minced garlic, low-sodium soy sauce, and cooked it on high for 6 hours. Our handyman raved about the flavor and my husband liked it, too. He said I'm blessed to find good recipes fairly often and they're mostly from Taste of Home."

"It seemed to be missing seasonings. I only had low sodium soy sauce, would regular soy have made the difference? I would make it again if I can figure out what spices and/or herbs would enhance it."
